Arts Council grant
The Vortex Jazz Club has been awarded a grant of £28,640 from the Grants for the Arts scheme of Arts Council England.
The money will be used towards acquiring a Steinway grand piano for the club and improving the p.a.
This is the first time in the 20 years The Vortex Jazz Club has been running in East London, (initially situated on Stoke Newington Church St and for the past two years in the Dalston Culture House on Gillett Sq), that it has received a significant grant of this nature.
The Vortex has proved itself to be not only an invaluable asset to the local area, but also as one of London's top international 'listening' venues. This can be witnessed by the calibre of artists who play at the club and utilise the piano including leading UK pianists, John Taylor, Django Bates, Steinway artist Richard Fairhurst and Mercury nominated Zoe Rahman, and some of the great musicians from overseas, such as Uri Caine, Sylvie Courvoisier and Craig Taborn.
The ownership of a top quality piano will further confirm the Vortex as a leading venue for jazz, and continue to give hundreds of artists the opportunity to perform in an intimate setting on a first-class piano.
The Vortex has also received assistance from benefit concerts by Dame Cleo Laine and Sir John Dankworth, and by world famous violinist Nigel Kennedy as well as private donations. Together with the grant received, the club has now raised £35,000 towards the total cost of the piano. This means that £16,000 still needs to be raised.
This can be achieved by your continual support and by regularly visiting the club to enjoy the vast range of musical talent on offer. (For its day to day operations, the club is reliant on income from ticket sales, the bar, the goodwill of a substantial number of volunteers and private donations.)
Around £3000 will be used to ensure that the club will be able to have a top quality p.a. system to complement the first class music that the club programmes.
